Tell us a bit about who you are and the people you reach

This product is for people daring to understand who Michael Jackson really was. This is not the official story. It is not designed for fans. It is more of an essay. It is also a book for people who wants to understand the way Michael Jackson choose to communicate (using rumors). I also explain how the Thriller video clip works, why Michael had surgery. I talk much about childhood, this is a VERY IMPORTANT part of the book. The idea of multiple personnalities too. The most surprising chapter is on Michael Jackson fatherhood. Reading this book, you will, someway, know how it felt to be the King of Pop.
